Democratic Senators Ignore Their Constituents on Health Care (338 hits)
by Jennifer Mesko, managing editor
Eighteen Democratic senators continue to ignore the fact that their home states are so opposed to President Obama’s health care law that they have sued to block it from taking effect. The U.S. Senate voted 47-51 Wednesday on repealing the massive health care law.
Fifty Democrats and one Independent opposed the repeal, while all 47 Republicans supported it. Democrat Mark Warner of Virginia and Independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut missed the vote. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who forced a vote on the law by adding it as an amendment to another bill, said the battle is not over. http://www.citizenlink.com/2011/02/democra...
